Several years ago I was evaluating Mid American conference officials at Kent State University. The lead official called a player control foul against a Kent State player. He reports the foul and signals for the media timeout. Since there was no long switch this same official had to return to the baseline with the ball to administer the throwin following the TO. All during the TO he had to stand there and listen to the fans in the stands behind him who were letting him know they disliked the call. The teams returned to the floor and immediatly after the 2nd horn to end the TO the stands became deathly quiet and a lone fan stood up a shouted...
"If you don't know the difference between a block or charge then blow your whistle and raise your hand."
The official smiled, blew his whistle, raised his hand and administered the inbound. What else could he do?

That is really really funny. I just hope it doesn't get out to everyone because it's funnier when it happens to someone else.
